Textiles
THE COMFORT ZONE – A soft landing with structured and tactile surfaces, and the touch of different materials are all factors which are important to Gloster. Choosing the right fabrics and combining the right colors are essential for the right result – so we strive to make our fabric collection color coordinated across the individual themes, making it easy for you to mix and match any way you like.
Outdoor Performance
Offered in a wide selection of stylish and sophisticated fabrics with a soft hand, our Outdoor Performance cushions use the softest, most luxurious fillings that give the feel of the most comfortable indoor furniture. A highly water-resistant barrier beneath the outer fabric cover protects the fillings, keeping drying times to a minimum.
Soft Touch
Combining with all the benefits present in Outdoor Performance cushions, Gloster offers this range of exclusive knitted performance fabrics that are the first to be used outdoors. These knitted fabrics offer the ultimate in terms of softness, giving a sumptuous cosy feel, while the inherent stretch allows for the perfect fit to even the most demanding of cushion shapes. The Wave fabrics feature a unique, 3D knitted structure giving levels of texture and softness unparalleled in outdoor fabrics.
Water Resistant
For maximum water resistance, a selection of Sunbrella® Rain cover fabrics features a water-resistant coating that is applied to the back face, helping prevent water travelling beyond the surface of the fabric. Although not offering quite the same soft hand as our other fabrics, these water-resistant fabrics are very practical and quick drying. The fillings inside the cushion are engineered using open cell materials to allow for maximum air circulation, helping to speed up the drying process even further. Sunbrella® Renaissance fabrics combine up to 50% post-industrial recycled Sunbrella® fibre with virgin Sunbrella® fibre to achieve vintage charm, rich colouration, soft feel and excellent performance. Due to the nature of the recycled content, Sunbrella® Renaissance yarns may exhibit random colour specks and shade variation. These slubs can sometimes be a contrasting colour. The recycled and virgin fibres are blended to help ensure that the product meets stringent Sunbrella® performance standards. The recycled content is collected from the Sunbrella® manufacturing facility, where the waste is segmented into colour groups, reduced back to its fibre state and finally mixed with Sunbrella® virgin fibre before making its way through the manufacturing process. Due to the recycled nature of this fabric, the colour may vary between production batches and large sections of recycled yarns may run sporadically throughout the fabric. The presence of these recycled yarns should not be interpreted as imperfection, but as part of the character of the recycled fabric.
